About us

The Three Lakes Cultural Trust is the independent not-for-profit Regional Arts Organisation for the Queenstown Lakes District.

Established in 2019, TLCT supports and fosters local arts, culture and heritage, enriching the lives of our communities and strengthening the district’s cultural, social and economic vitality. Our vision is for our place to be a powerhouse of arts, culture, and creativity.

Our values—innovation, inclusion, respect, collaboration, and visionary thinking —guide everything we do. As a proud member of the Regional Arts Network Aotearoa (RANA), we also contribute to the broader New Zealand arts scene, bringing people together through the power of the arts.
